[ispcp] Early awareness process on IPv6 global policy

["Mark McFadden" <mcf@xxxxxxx>]

FYI to the ISP community:

To: ICANN SO and AC chairs

The development of Global Internet Number Resource Policies is the subject
of an MoU between ASO/NRO and ICANN. There are also specific ICANN Board
Procedures, adopted by the Board on 15 July 2005 at the ICANN meeting in
Luxemburg, for handling global policy proposals in this context.

These Board procedures also state that the Board can request ICANN staff to
undertake an "early awareness" tracking of proposals for global policies
under development in the addressing community. At its meeting on 16 August
2005, the Board resolved to request such tracking of the development of a
global policy proposal for allocation of IPv6 address space, already well
advanced in the Regional Internet Registries, RIRs. Attached is a first
background report with a status overview in table format, compiled in
response to this request. It will be timely updated as developments proceed,
for information to ICANN entities and the wider community.

This report will also be posted on the ICANN web site shortly and I will
send you a link to the web posting a.s.a.p.

FYI and for notification to your membership.

Best regards

Olof
